Through history, mankind has developed and improved different kinds of technologies that have had a crucial influence on social interaction and human communications. Let's make a quick overview to remember some key points of our history regarding social interactions and technology.

2.A very long time ago before written word existed there were cave paintings & storytelling.

Society is on the cusp of a social revolution, we are at a point in history where new social realities are being created by technology and those realities mean for the individual and society. We are shifting from personal human interactions to virtual interactions through social media. From Facebook to Twitter, Instant Message to Skype, iPhones to iPods, technologies of communication have already started running the societies in the developed countries and within ten years it will engulf the whole world. There can be no doubt about it, as can be gauged by the rapid advancements in the technologies that are being made. Ten years from now technology will be making our world much more small and will be getting us closer, informing us faster than ever before not only in communications but also in all aspect of our life, medicine, transportation, and engineering just to mention few.

2.Social relationships have already been impacted greatly from rapid advances in technology. Technology has strengthened social relationships because it provides a fast and reliable avenue for people to communicate with those five miles and five hundred miles away. People are more and more connected with each other through new technologies and this trend will certainly not slow down.

The Social Disconnection
Put. It. Down. Whether it is a cell phone, a computer, a tablet or a TV, people in today's technological world always have their eyes in front of some kind of screen. Due to the misuse of technology, people today do not consider their surroundings important. Technology is everywhere, giving anyone who comes within its reach access to all kinds of information. There is evidence that shows technology is more efficient to use, but people pay too much attention to it rather than to each other. Society has shifted to a time where talking to someone face-to-face is no longer required, and this shift has become a growing problem in today’s world. Technology is being improved every day, but the new advancements being created are causing people to lose basic essentials needed for life. Rather than allowing technology to change important priorities, society should limit their use of technology and consider it as an asset to living a normal life rather than a necessity. Technology has provided society with different ways of communication, but the excessive use of technology is causing a decrease in humaninteraction and the public’s human intelligence level, leaving children today to live a computer-only lifestyle.

Technology affects family interaction. Technology is supposed to make things even better; little did we know that these products would change things so that family interaction is void. Most technology that has come about in the last thirty or so years have it ups and downs. Cellphones, computers, and the internet are parts of technology that has a great impact on family interactions. Families have transferred their offices to their homes, which reduces family interaction. Technology has taken place of family’s routines; however, for many families it has completely altered their life.

Although most readers would say Technology is benefiting us which it is greatly, but it’s also affecting and socialinteractions closer examination shows us that it is. Technology also harms our ability to deal with conflict as well. For example if you have a problem with someone you can just send them a message instead of confronting the person (Northeren-Iowan.org), and It negatively impacts our socialinteractions because it detaches us from what is happening around us.
The first people making eye contact with the devices we have today. Powers says “it was very difficult efforts. It almost had an existential feeling of; I don’t know who I am with the Internet gone.” (Adler) in today’s society there’s a lot of people like powers who worry we're too immersed in the digital world, and completely oblivious to the real world. Observers such as digital guru Baratunde Thurston; we can’t seem to resist the lure of our smart phones, if that’s what we are in company of others.

...Effect of 21st Century Technology on HumanSocialInteraction
Breanna Cummings
Humanity has come far from its primitive beginnings. From sticks and stone wheels to the fantastic technology of today. Each tool made toward the betterment of life more wondrous – and many times more dangerous – than the next. Humans have come from stone tools to hydrogen bombs. Humanity has become so accustomed to – so connected to -- technology that it can no longer live without it. If all electricity were to somehow cease to be a thing in the world, society might very well collapse before our eyes. Really, there is no stopping this evolution, whether humanity as a whole see error in technology or not. In “The Evolution of Technology,” George Basalla asks how the world came to such a point that it could not stop its advancement. I question its exact effects. The advancement of media technologies in the 21st century have greatly impacted society. More specifically, the merging of modern media technology and the various social settings of society has had major influence on socialinteraction between individuals. The media technologies of today effect socialinteraction in many different ways. Modern media...

...Technology and SocialInteraction
Throughout the yearstechnology has gotten more and more advanced. The better the technology the easier it is for people to stay connected with each other. There are so many ways to contact a person now. You can call/text, email, or even video chat. SocialInteraction is getting much better in today’s world of technology. In the past 15 years, the Internet has transitioned from a medium that’s interacted with strictly though desktop computers in homes, offices and computer labs to one that a growing number of people take with them everywhere they go. Whether via laptops, ever-evolving mobile phone devices or through Internet-connected workstations in the office and at home, many are online all the time. (Margolis)
The cell phone has really improved over the past few decades. It used to look like a giant brick, but now they seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Cell Phones can basically do anything such as call people, text message them, or even go on the Internet. It is very easy to get into contact with people these days because almost everyone has a cell phone. The Pew Research Center found that half of American teenagers — defined in the study as ages 12 through 17 — send 50 or more text messages a day and that one third send more than 100 a day (STOUT) They even...

...Introduction
Human Computer Interaction is the interaction between users and computer. The interaction occurs at the user interface which includes both software and hardware. On the user interface objects or characters are displayed on a monitor. Inputs can be received from users via hardware peripherals e.g. keyboard. Human Computer Interaction has six usability goals which are effectiveness, efficiency, safety, utility, ability to learn and memorability. Organizational and cultural issues have become critical factors in the design of interfaces that allow people to use increasingly diverse and personal software and hardware settings.
Scenario
‘Users R Us’ has been approached by the organisers of Odyssey Arena to design a prototype for a ‘walk up and use’ virtual information system. The idea being that the system will be located in busy areas of the stadium in order to take the pressure from the main enquiry desk. The public will be able to obtain information about the arena’s facilities, including up and coming events, refreshments and public conveniences. They will also be able to obtain local information including food and drink, hotel and travel. Should this project be successful business will be available from other stadiums.
